Let me tell you the story
Of a woman so trapped in love
She gave her soul completely
To a man so mean and cold
When she understood that her life was her own
She decided to end it all
Whenever love takes me up to drop me down
Leaves me upside down and confused
Whenever love treats me wrong and gives nothing
I gotta go back to my groove
Who can preserve a family?
A land of joy that’s meant to be
With a man that’s never around
When he says babe I gotta go
I sit alone at the piano ready to utter my blues
Whenever love takes me up to drop me down
Leaves me upside down and confused
Whenever love treats me wrong and gives nothing
I gotta go back to my groove
When the baby’s crying
And I’m all alone
When the phone’s not ringing and you’re not coming
home
I sit and cry my eyes out cause you hurt me so
When I feel like dying I gotta go back to my groove
Whenever love takes me up to drop me down
Leaves me upside down and confused
Whenever love treats me wrong and gives nothing
I gotta go back to my groove
